“Batman: Killing Time” was the rare recent Bat book that I did not instantly dislike. To be clear, it’s not great, and there are some very cringy moments (Selina would never socialize with Joker), but it was a nice diversion. While the story was above mediocre, the art was excellent. More importantly, the character design was top notch. And it introduced “the Help.” He’s basically a hitman/cleaner for hire, but has the distinction of coming across as an evil Alfred Pennyworth.
Much of this was set in motion by 3D files created by ArclightWorkshop. He created an Alfred kit that includes the torso, coat, and head. Merge these printed parts with McFarlane’s “clown” Joker, and you have a decent start. I printed the torso parts in standard resin, and the coat in flexible resin. The head is from the 3D sculpt of the Spectre by the folks at B3DSERK.

Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
